Dave Boyle (born 1982) is an American director, writer, editor, and actor. He has written and directed several movies that utilize primarily Asian or Asian-American casts, including the feature films Big Dreams Little Tokyo (2006), White on Rice (2009), Surrogate Valentine (2011), Daylight Savings (2012), and Man from Reno (2014), several of which have won awards at film festivals around the world.[1]
Big Dreams Little Tokyo (2006), Boyle's directorial debut, premiered at the AFI Festival in Hollywood, California. Boyle also stars in the film as the character "Boyd." The film also stars James Kyson Lee and Hiroshi Watanabe, who he would later work with on his next film, White on Rice. Boyle also conceived the idea for the film while living in the Japantown area of Sydney, Australia. Many of the characters in the film were based on people he met and interacted with while living there. The film was shot in the summer of 2005 in San Jose and San Francisco, California as well as Salt Lake City, Utah, and the film was produced by Duane Andersen and Megan Boyle.
Man from Reno is a neo-noir mystery film set in California's Bay Area that stars Pepe Serna as a small-town sheriff of a town south of San Francisco named Paul Del Moral and Ayako Fujitani as a Japanese crime novelist named Aki who travels to San Francisco to escape press tours on her most recent book. Del Moral investigates the "Running Man" (played by Hiroshi Watanabe from White on Rice), while the title character, Akira (played by Kazuki Kitamura), encounters Aki.[11] A mystery soon unfolds involving Akira, the Running Man, and a number of other diverse characters, including Derrick O'Connor as an elusive wheelchair-bound billionaire.[12] The film premiered at the 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival, where it won a Narrative Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature.[13][14][15][16][17]
